Eastside offers charming homes and parks

Eastside is an engaged neighborhood with mid-20th century houses and lots of links to the great outdoors.
Pacific Park is located just a few blocks west of the 5 freeway and the Santa Ana Zoo. Mostly populated by single-story ranch- and Spanish-style homes on small lots right next to each other, modern farmhouses and A-frame homes may also be found in the area. Parks, beautifully painted murals and a trail for electric bicycles blend in seamlessly with the neighborhood’s sidewalks and purple jacaranda trees.

Ranch and A-frame style houses are plentiful

Matt Tilley, a Realtor in southern California known as the British Bloke, says that the main draw to Eastside is that it’s affordable compared to some other parts of Santa Ana. You can find houses here that cost as little as $185,000, although most properties cost upwards of $500,000. Some multifamily homes here cost more than $2 million, but a typical well-maintained 1940s A-frame house here can cost between $800,000 and $900,000.
“You can comfortably say it’s 1,200-1,600-square-foot single-family homes, and one- and two-bedroom condos for more than $500,000,” Tilley says.

Locals get active at parks including Pacific Electric Park

Besides affordability, one of the big draws to the neighborhood is Pacific Electric Park, which welcomes you with a sign shaped like a train. It’s a small neighborhood green space of just under 2 acres with picnic areas, exercise equipment and a playground. There’s also a community garden where neighbors plant things like strawberries, cucumbers and extraordinarily tall sunflowers.

The Pacific Electric Bicycle Trail, which runs south in Santa Ana until it reaches South Bristol Street and West Alton Avenue, starts at Pacific Electric Park. The nearby Roosevelt-Walker Community Center also has a garden for the public to use, and it has plenty of space inside for live performances and meetings, like gatherings of the Eastside neighborhood association.

Access to I-5, I-55 and other major LA roadways

Eastside is just down the road from where the 5 and 55 freeways intersect with one another. It’s also a few minutes away from other freeways like the 405, 73 and 22. Anaheim is 10 miles away, and downtown Los Angeles is 34 miles northeast. This is a cozy Santa Ana neighborhood with cute, smaller houses and plenty of charm. Come see what it has to offer.
